Rethinking intralogistics – Using montrac® to achieve more efficient production processes in the automotive industry
Application: Production logistics, assembly and testing processes
Challenge:
In modern vehicle production, the demands on efficiency, flexibility, and precision are increasing. Many manufacturers struggle with static isolated solutions, inflexible interlinking, and bottlenecks in material flow. The goal was to make intralogistics modular, scalable, and efficient—with a focus on productivity, process reliability, and cost reduction.
Solution with montrac®:
The intelligent montrac® shuttle system enables a continuous, smooth material flow – perfect for one-piece flow concepts and highly automated production.
Thanks to its modular design, new stations or process steps can be integrated at any time without disrupting ongoing operations.
Customer benefits:
- Optimized material flow without bottlenecks
- Shorter throughput and cycle times
- Sustainable reduction in production costs
- High flexibility thanks to modular expandability
- Gentle, precise component transport
- Future-proof platform for automation and digitalization
Efficient and low-particle transport in cleanroom production lines with montrac®
Application: Cleanroom transport, assembly of electric motors and displays
Challenge:
Precision, cleanliness, and energy efficiency are key in electronics manufacturing—and space is limited. Conventional conveyor systems are often too loud, too inflexible, or generate too many particles, especially in cleanroom applications or sensitive processes such as display assembly and noise testing.
Solution with montrac®:
The modular montrac® rail and shuttle system ensures low-particle, shock-free transport in clean rooms (ISO class 5–7). Thanks to the integrated power supply, products can be operated or tested throughout the entire transport process – for example, during end-of-line testing of electric motors or displays. The compact design enables automated processes even in the most confined spaces.
Customer benefits:
- Low-particle, ESD-compliant transport in accordance with Fraunhofer certification (ISO 5–7)
- High energy efficiency (only 0.1 A when stationary, 0.7 A at 30 m/min)
100% antistatic – complies with EN61000-6-2:2005 & EN61000-6-4:2011 - Flexible system design with minimal footprint
- No lateral movement, contactless stopping
- Precise positioning for inline tests and measurement processes
- Scalable throughput thanks to variable number of shuttles
Cleanroom technology that adapts – montrac® in pharmaceutical and medical technology
